I have just returned to Darwin and he is heading down to Brisbane tomorrow morning. He's done a fabulous job of setting up and organising Helen's home and it is a lovely place to arrive to. She varies her time between the hospital bed in the downstairs lounge-room gazing into the greenery of the garden, the reclining chair and small journeys to the shower Louis and Jamie have created under the ferns in the Atrium. Yesterday when I arrived Shirley was visiting and later in the day Belinda dropped in. Later on L and H and I watched 2 episodes of Rumpole and had a nice time together (I have now acquired the complete collections of Rumpole AND Foyle's War - both of which Helen is very fond of).
We have carers visiting morning and evening to help with showering, toilet-ing etc and the palliative care nurses come later at night to give the clexane injections.
